commemoration of what may prove to be a dying industry and way of
life' Â- Sunday Herald  Heartfelt and relevant. Brings the past
alive. Stuffed full of a larger than life cast whose eccentricities
and suspicions produce funny set-pieces, with more than a touch of the
vital spark about them' Â- The Herald This rich and moving saga tells
the story of Ina, Margo and Rose Â- grandmother, daughter and
granddaughter Â- from the small fishing community of Acarsaid on the
west coast of Scotland. Each has led a very different existence, but
